At certain times in my life I have felt as if there has been something beyond the physical… I have experienced negative influences as well as positive… Most of the influences that drew me towards negative destructive outcomes were based upon emotion… Could these influences have come from an inner spiritual force?
Can the entirety of our emotions be simply the unique layout of physical neurons in our brain? Or, is there more to it? Is it possible that something is programmed to encourage either order or chaos in our physical world?
If, as some believe, ‘we have a spirit’, do you think that whilst it inhabits the human body it also influences our physical make-up, including character or desire? Could ‘for example’ the individual spirits of identical twins, explain the fact, that although they are very similar in physical characteristics, they generally have completely different personalities? Could those unique traits really have come solely from a common set of genes? I personally think not, but this is only my point of view…
Taking this a step further, maybe there could be a spiritual competition of sorts between order and chaos; a force imposing chaos on our existence! Some might want to name this as God and Satan… Personally, I would rather not…
Just for a moment imagine, ‘what if’, on a individual minuscule level, each atom acts independently, being influenced to support either order or chaos; if there were large numbers of atoms involved, a percentage would support the positives and a certain percentage the chaos.
It would most be interesting to hear any other considerations on this….
Bow….
I don't know too many individuals that haven't had the negative influences along with the positive influences, in their life. I do sense these influences of both polarities come from an "inner spiritual force" or some type of spiritual blueprint within. However, I don't feel these influences only source from our internal spiritual force. An event or individual could cross our paths to trigger a predestined lesson or challenge. In my humble opinion, it seems the spark of life or soul within us, has as much influence on our human character, that we allow it. I sense many have chosen to bury themselves in many layers of negative influences, for some unique reason known within, but a challenge they wanted to observe for some unique reason of their own spiritual achievement, and perhaps to come full circle within their karmic wheel.
I believe most play both roles, dependent on their environment and experiences throughout their childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Some in more powerful ways than others....heh.
I can definitely say that in my young adulthood, I brought chaos to another's life and my own life, but my perspective at that time, was too dependent on my uncontrolled emotions and thoughts, to view these moments anymore than pure injustice of some other influence, which could promote moments of rage or verbal/physical attacks, if I allowed it. Today, I see and feel more to those moments. I sense the "everything happens for a reason," be it with my own or another's choice of "chaos or order," and we learn by our reaction or interaction with both. I suspect that every soul has their specific tolerance of chaos for specific reasons to their own journey, in this lifetime. In my humble thoughts, the dense vibrations that exist in this third-dimensional Earth, is the muck, that we are trying to exit, as we perhaps shouldn't have been probing this dense plane of dense vibrations of hate, anger, jealousy, rage and other negative energy. To me, we all have a choice to "remember" the greater good of the whole, and begin to work on getting out of the muck..., or we can keep rolling around and manifesting in it. Many create their own "poltergeist," per say..., when they aren't aware of their unique abilities to control them, because of their own fear. Astral projection of negative energy is very real to me, as I know those who are stuck in a terrible place, in their life. I don't believe in a satan or hell, but I do believe negative entities are still swirling about in this dense realm of Earth.
The beauty is..., that we always have the choice. I am so very grateful, that I remembered in this lifetime, and that I will continue to embrace joy and happiness, no matter what chaos I create or what chaos another creates. To me, as long as we are Being...., within a greater or higher vibration of positive intent, we are on our way to being "mud" free. 
Dar, yet again you have submitted an excellent reply, your considerations open many avenues of thought, thank you….

‘The cycles of our soul's experiences’, I tend to agree with you on this…
The beauty is..., that we always have the choice.
It is true that we have a certain percentage of "free will." And we are able to make certain choices or decisions. However, I do not personally believe that life for us holds complete freedom… I tend to think that we are swept along by our karma: Things happen!
If I look at my life now: if I objectively examine my life and the major circumstances within it, I ask myself the question, “Were they really a matter of choice”?
Are we victims of circumstance?
Bow…
First, I would like to share, that I am experiencing many changes this year, heh.., and I have been working more on interpretating my own "stuff," as I feel some sense of urgency. I notice that the more I work with an "open-minded" energy within myself, the more challenging it becomes to transcript my "thinking or thoughts" into a coherant written explanation or post. 
So, please forgive any of my brain zaps or any of my confusing statements that might seem illogical. I respect all opinions that differ than mine. 
*******************************
“Were they really a matter of choice”?
In my most humblest opinions, I don't believe in random acts, victims nor mistakes. To me, everything is for learning...., towards a greater purpose. So my answer would be, Yes...., in regards to "free will" choices, but that perhaps...we are "students of our choices of circumstances." In my humble thoughts, the main script of life are choices we made or charted in agreement for our incarnation. However, I believe all possible scenarios already exist in some "realm" of the ALL, of both the greatest and the worst experiences. I believe we attract what is prechosen for this lifetime, but we can also attract more experiences, as we are living, that are possibilities through our "free will" choices, both good and bad. However, we learn from both circumstances, so to me..., there are no mistakes and no victims. We possibly can bite-off more than we can chew, at a time..., heh.
Are we victims of circumstance?
Now.., I do understand this opinion of mine doesn't do well, will many others for various reasons, which is why I usually keep these particular opinions to myself. 
Many experiences are too painful to imagine that one could have "chosen" to experience it, such as death of a dearly loved one, death of a child, horrific abuse, abandonment, poverty and so on....However, I strongly sense one does choose these type of experiences for one's own unique learning for a greater purpose.
To me, if one really wanted pure bliss or good experiences or maybe just a couple challenges..., then this third dimensional Earth isn't the place one would chose to manifest or create within. I don't think there could be any worse atrocities than what humans do to each other on this planet. The risks are so huge.., of getting "stuck" in the muck.
I consider the molestation of my daughter, a blessing in disguise, and that really gets people freaking out at me....lol. In my perspective, it was the blessing that manifested a miracle of awe..., within a powerful "awakening" of sorts, for me. Definitely, a major shift within every fiber of my being. It is like I achieved some inner-vision of a whole different perspective of everything. Perhaps..., it could have been a way my human brain reacted to not have me go insane..., but I believe it was a much more deeper spiritual trigger that was meant to happen, at that specific time.
I see a different perspective on the souls that are starving and dying all over the planet. Another choice..., and only a "victim" from the actions of mankind. I believe that humanity needs to help each other in whatever way they're able, in their lifetime. It is humanity that created the negative manifestations, so it is humanity, that should harmonize, heal and nuture these plights into positive creations. Thousands of years, and the human race is still chosing power and profits over its Love for each other. I really do believe in that wonderful statement, "United We Stand, Divided We Fall..." or was that a song...lol.
